Fanni kertje
Fairy Garden
Hidden in the heart of Budapest's woods, an unorthodox father-daughter relationship blossoms between Fanni, a 19-year-old transgender teenager, and Laci, a 60-year-old homeless man. Together, they form a makeshift family, supporting each other through hardship and change. This unconventional coming-of-age documentary unveils their tale of perseverance, acceptance, and the triumph of finding home amidst the struggles of life. Join them on a captivating journey that challenges conventions, celebrates resilience, and offers a profound glimpse into an extraordinary bond. (Sarajevo Film Festival)
